London: Ronald Koeman became the third Premier League managerial casualty of the season on Monday when he was sacked by Everton.
The 54-year-old Dutchman -- who guided Everton to seventh in his first season in charge last term -- paid the price for a desperate start to the season despite having spent £140million in the close season.
"Everton Football Club can confirm that Ronald Koeman has left the Club," read the club statement.
